Blizzard fuckin' did it

Starcraft HD is happening and its going to be free

no it isn't. HD is like 30 bucks, the base game is going to be free


they're also fucking up UMS by putting in that retarded "popular" filter

Kinda bummed you gotta pay for the HD textures but I hope its not that much.

And I got this from a Q and A from Team Liquid:

Q. What kind of matchmaking will be available for classic Brood War? What kind of ladder system will be available? How closely will the menus and matchmaking mimic classic BW? Will the menu and GUI structure simulate classic Brood War?

A. We’re maintaining the Chat Channels and other defining features. We’re giving an aesthetic that mimics what players are used to from the original game if you prefer the old-school style of custom game lobbies and negotiating game terms before hopping into a game. For the sake of modern convenience and an accurate ladder, we are also giving the option of jumping more quickly into a match, with fewer buttons and menus to navigate. More details about the online UI will be released in the coming weeks, so stay tuned to the official website.

So we just gotta wait and see what they show us in the coming weeks.

i don't trust nublizzard not to fuck everything up

they should just not mess with the perfect system BW has for custom games

The PTR is out now. I was able to play a match but one thing that disappointed me was the "Cannot create more units" is still there. I guess they can't fix that unless they completely overhaul the game.
